Hang out at Jaques and watch it on the television while sipping some brandy...

Needed an 'Other' option on the poll.

If the aliens are the Thargoids, I'm gonna shoot and never ask questions, I will rally other players and take the battle to the insectoid scum. Their home will be destroyed - just as they destroyed so many of our worlds. I will darken the sky with the ships of the Pilots Federation and bring ruin to their kind.

If it's anyone else - I'll say "Hi" show 'em the sights, and help them settle in.
 
Probably just fly by. They are most ikely NPCs and therefore incredibly dumb. No amount of damage can break my shields or hull before I can wake out.

Not play the game because im sure they will be bugged or linked to RNG. Im gonna bet it will be RNG related and people wont be hunted by them but it will be the other way around.
 
As someone whose the most powerful weapon ever equipped was a medium Mining Laser, I will not fight. If aliens are only there to do pew-pew, I will ignore them just like pretty much every major feature since launch.

...

On the other hand, if they are more civilised than a typical human, the future looks bright indeed. If you aliens want to hang out, I'm on my way to Jaques with 12T of Lavian Brandy! Let's get together and make Elite great again!TM
 
well, depends on ship. In my grade 5 engineered combat vette, it will be hell of a fight, in my taxi hauler I just try to run.
If they will be peaceful, I'll invite them for cup of Lavian brandy.
 
Hi Aliens! :)
....
Oh I see we have some cultural difficulties.
....
When I say Hi, you're supposed to say Hi back. Not shoot at me :)
....
Wait, let me try flashing my lights and playing some notes.
....
Hmmm, I see. I guess Trump was right after all! [mad]
 
I voted run.

Not out of cowardice, but out of duty. If I stay and fight, who is going to warn the navy of the impending invasion? Someone's got to high tail it back to civilisation and warn the fleet.

Doing a Commodore Decker and taking them on head first might seem courageous but Spock had the right idea all along. Get the warning out first, then worry about whether you can do anything yourself.
